Invisible

Some days I feel completely invisible.

I started thinking about this on Sunday after church. My family has attended the same church almost every week for over eight years and if we stopped coming I'm not sure many people would notice or care. I don't feel connected to the people there.

Later Sunday afternoon I posted an introduction in a Yahoo group, and asked a couple of questions. I was very excited to join the group but so far I have not received a single response to my questions. I guess I will have to try again.

I know it is mostly my own fault. I am a very quiet person and I have a hard time getting involved and offering my opinions ... I mostly sit back, watching and listening. I need to find a way to get involved and connected with others because feeling invisible is not much fun.

Augh- that's hard when you don't feel like you fit in at church. That is the one place you need friends and to fit in at. We moved from our old town- three years ago and I feel so detached from people in the community and at church. I had one friend since I have been here and we are no longer friends because she turned out to be the town gossip. I really want to move back to our old community, but it is very expensive to live there. We'll see though. I am sorry you feel invisible- it's not a good feeling.
